• monooxygenases necessitates efficient recycling of the redox-cofactor NADPH. For this purpose a number of systems have been described. Indeed, several enzymes for recycling systems are commercially available.[48][49][50] For efficient BV-oxidation catalysis with PAMO, the regeneration system must fulfill several
